' Wrote:I never counted a CD as a form of engagement, sure it is annoying, but is a pirate about to let his target just fly away?
I have also been killed without a "proper" engagement. I was in my merc char after this pirate in the NY system. I warned him that I was after him, and after I found him I sat there waiting for some RP. He ended up opening fire on my ship. That opening salvo was enough to drop my shields. I died in the end and he claimed he opened up In self defence cause I was after him. Is this a valid excuse and was my former warnings enough to be called an engagement?
